H-VPLS with Ethernet Q-in-Q Access
In a flat or non-hierarchical VPLS configuration, a full mesh of pseudowires (PWs) is needed between all PE
nodes. Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Service (H-VPLS) reduces both signaling and replication overhead by
using a combination of full-mesh and hub-and-spoke configurations.

In the example below, U-PE device will add S-Tag 30 on top of customer vlan 10. N-PE device is only aware of S-
TAG 30.
